Has accelerated data integration workflows and supports seamless development of custom connectors
I've worked extensively with Fivetran, mainly used for extraction purposes, and I've worked with the transformation element in it as well. Fivetran not only has built-in connectors but also provides SDK connectors, allowing us to develop our own connectors in an easy manner. I don't have to write raw Python scripts or dumping scripts; it offers straightforward examples and guidelines, making it much simpler to develop custom connectors inside Fivetran. We've been able to develop many custom connectors as well, which is unique and beneficial for having everything centralized instead of having those connectors located elsewhere. One of the best features by Fivetran is its clean, simple, and intuitive UI. It includes a transformation section where I can deploy my DBT queries and scripts. It also supplies good tracking capabilities for billing estimates and user permissions, allowing for customization to the desired level. The number of connectors it has remains a standout feature, and within connectors, the options available are very helpful. Although it sometimes appears static due to its built-in nature, it offers good flexibility for data transformation and caching, which I appreciate because it saves us extensive script-writing time.

Effective data transformation and integration in complex environments with high functionality
Something that could be improved in WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is that the problem is not a lack of capability or functionalities. The problem is that it is a very complex environment. To put your hand on this environment is a very demanding task. This is the real problem. The problem is not about the product, but about the complexity to manage, to configure, to decide what to do. I have some experience using SAP R/3. It seems to me something similar. When you have to configure a situation with a client, especially for a client not in an industrial sector, but in a service sector, it is quite usual that you are in trouble for some reason. This is always the story that I found in the implementations I have done. Maybe there are only three or four big problems, in some other cases there are more than that, but this is the situation usually. For WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, not the same, but I must say it is quite often there is a need to put together some pieces and make it work in a coordinated way.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The ease of setting up the connectors and transformations is highly valuable."
"The product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available."
"We would have to hire multiple data engineers to do what Fivetran does and each would cost us about $200,000 a year."
"Fivetran can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target."
"The solution is stable, and we've never faced any stability issues."
"Fivetran offers native connectivity with Sybase"
"The solution is stable. We've never faced any stability issues."
"The general data ingestion is valuable; it's used for a lot of data and provides about 90% of the data we use in our data warehouse without needing data engineering."
"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."
"The solution basically conforms to our standards."
"While I am still exploring the solution, I've so far been pretty satisfied with it."
"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."
"The connectors have been the most impactful features for handling integrations. I can use these connectors when I need specific connectivity with a third party, like a core banking system in BFSI. I don't need to do all the development. I take the specific connector, put in the IP address and password, and it takes care of everything."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the integration between core banking and other systems."
"It's a consolidated product; it works and it does its job pretty well."
"The installation process is easy."
 

Cons

"There was a random change to our contract in a unilateral manner after the first year. The overall cost of using Fivetran was then unclear and this is the reason I would not recommend this solution."
"The connections with SAP must be improved."
"I would like for them to incorporate additional transformations."
"It can get expensive if you're sending a lot of data through Fivetran."
"An in-line data quality checking capability is missing"
"The biggest area for improvement is in customization, particularly in how Fivetran socializes its tools."
"Some features don't work as advertised for the platform/repository database, and HVR is not always the fastest at getting results."
"The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure."
"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."
"If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me."
"You cannot include the validation of XPath."
"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."
"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."
"We had some challenges with the installation of this solution."
"You cannot include the validation of XPath."
"The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I can't give exact amounts because that's based on usage, but it's more expensive than some of its competitors."
"I would say they're a little bit on the expensive side, and their contract process is not particularly good, but there is a lot of potential flexibility."
"I don't have the exact information, but I know it is high, and it is on a yearly basis. There is no additional cost for what we're doing. We're always open to doing things cheaper, so we might potentially implement a different solution."
"In the first year, we were given a very good discount. It was approximately 20,000 Euros per year. In the third year, we purchased credit for two years and the price was 33,000 Euros per year."
"I rate the pricing a six out of ten."
"The pricing model is okay and mid to large companies will not have an issue with it."
"The solution is affordable."
"The licensing costs are extremely high for the usage of somebody who has one GB or two GB of usage per day for real-time traffic. There are many other players in the market which are similarly priced or competitively priced. On average per month, it used to come around 12,000-15,000 USD, which is very high."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"It is a low-cost solution."
